Tide Turning for Genetically Engineered Ingredients

While North American industry remains in the throes of a love affair with genetic modification, public concerns have visibly turned the tide in Europe. Field trial applications are down, stores are refusing to stock genetically engineered (GE) ingredients, and the European Union has agreed to a labelling standard that guarantees consumers freedom of choice. For the first time, all foods and animal feed containing GE ingredients will have to be clearly labelled. Now more than ever, we see the results consumer pressure has made in Europe. Let's do the same here. Obtain your copy of Greenpeace's GMO-Free Shopping Guide by phoning 1-800-320-7183 or visiting greenpeace.org.
